Hot planetary nebulae nuclei and related objects
… evolution. Observational studies show that all post-asymptotic giant branch (P-AGB) stars (excluding white dwarfs) that undergo nonradial pulsations are O VI stars. A full understanding of O VI stars is therefore crucial before we can develop a complete picture of P-AGB evolution. In this thesis …

Star formation, quenching and chemical enrichment in local galaxies from integral field spectroscopy
… to a central point source but to hot evolved (post-asymptotic giant branch) stars. In light of this, I suggest a new classification scheme for galaxies based on their line emission. By analysing the colours, star formation rates, morphologies, gas and stellar kinematics and environmental …

Celestial Paleontology: The Legacy of Dying Stars
<p>In their death throes, stars dole out their atmospheric material to the interstellar medium in dramatic stellar winds and spectacular explosions. The details of this profound metamorphosis, from star to remnant, play a key role in the next generation of star formation as well as the energetic …
